"Ask the self-proclaimed cow protectors to collect and dispose of the carcass from the villages and towns."

Rescued cattle are seen at a "goushala", or cow shelter, run by Bharatiya Gou Rakshan Parishad, an arm of the Hindu nationalist group Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), at Aangaon village in Maharashtra, February 20, 2015.

Furious at the policing by self-appointed cow protection groups, members of which beat up four men last week for ferrying carcasses, the Dalits of Saurashtra have found a unique way to raise their voice against the violence. They are dumping cow carcasses in government offices with a succinct message -- ask the 'Gau Rakshak' groups to dispose of the dead animals -- a job Dalits were burdened with.

Seven persons in Saurashtra also attempted suicide to protest the flogging of the men from the community by cow protectors on July 11. Videos circulating on social media showed the men cowering before the vigilante group as they were hit repeatedly with iron rods.

Over Monday and Tuesday, scores of Dalits from villages brought dead cows in tractors and dumped them in government offices in Gondal and Surendranagar, the Times of India reported.

"We told the government to ask Shiv Sainiks and the self-proclaimed cow protectors to collect and dispose of the carcass from the villages and towns."

"Dalits will stop lifting dead animals. We told the government to ask Shiv Sainiks and the self-proclaimed cow protectors to collect and dispose of the carcass from the villages and towns," a Dalit rights activist, BK Parmar, told the paper.

A Congress leader is among the seven people who attempted suicide. Anil Madhad, along with six others demonstrators, consumed pesticide. The Gujarat government has ordered a CID probe and offered compensation to the victims.
